“Please”
Chances are you’re oblivious to how I feel
Sitting on your throne, and I’m sure that I’m not alone,
Not alone, not alone.
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn’t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I’m still wearing this miserable skin
And it’s starting to tear from within
But it’s obvious that doesn’t bother you, so please
I didn’t think that you’d sell me out
Now I know what you’re all about.
You might feel in control of things.
But you’re not holding all the strings.
All the strings, all the strings.
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn’t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I’m still wearing this miserable skin
And it’s starting to tear from within
But it’s obvious that doesn’t matter to you,
So please
I’ve swallowed all your answers
I’ve swallowed all my pride
You’ve used up all your chances
Can’t keep this all inside
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn’t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I’m still wearing this miserable skin
And it’s starting to tear from within
But it’s obvious that doesn’t bother you
So please don’t keep telling me that it’s ok
I don’t buy all the shit that you say
And quite honestly I’m fucking sick of it
so please if I cut off this nose from my face
Then I wouldn’t feel so out of place
But it still wouldn’t be quite enough for you,
so please.
